the convention of the rights of a child.

umm let me think.. i think you can apply it to the custody of a child in divorces. it is termed as in the best interests of the child this may be having the child having an opinion to what is to happen to them.

how can conventions be reflected onto our legal system?

what is self determination?
Omg i know this (i think) okay its where the people of the nation have the right to choose who they want as a government body/leader...its like a democratic society. Self-determination is a principle in international law that a people ought to be able to determine their own governmental forms and structure free from outside influence.

What is universal suffrage?? ( i hope i haven't asked that before )

umm...u can't exactly use the same word to describe what is being asked, so try something like 'ratification is where a country adopts an international treaty/convention into its own domestic law- making it applicable to all citizens within its jurisdiction.'

question: what DOES CROC stand for? :)

The right to vote.

Suffrage is a 1st generation, political right. Its often associated with universal suffrage, which is the right of all voting-age people to vote.

(Question for cool people watching Tree Friends: Who did harvey birdman fuck last night?)

What are the acceptable defences for murder?

Blaue V. R.-(causation): Girl was stabbed & needed blood transfusion to stay alive. She refused due to religious reasons & died. Offender was charged with manslaughter. Was it the girl’s fault she died?

No it was the guy who stabbed her, it was his fault! If he hadnt stabbed there would be no need for a blood tranfusion and she would never have been in that situation. Therefore the offender had commited causation if that makes sense as he was the ultimate reason for the cause of the death! AND PEOPLE I THOUGHT THIS WAS LAW/SOCIETY NOT CRIME!

So next question:

What is tort law? Give one example of it.
